[Post-Event] CloudBrew - Belgium, 2014

By
This weeks I had the opportunity to attend to CloudBrew conference in Belgium The conference is organized by Azug (Belgium Microsoft Azure Group). I was surprised to discover an extremly active Azure community here.
There were two tracks in parallel where different aspects of cloud and Azure were presented. All the sessions were interesting. The most important thing at all sessions was that speakers shared their own experience with cloud and Azure (in this way we can learn more easily, from the mistakes of others). And of course the beer sampling was a great experience, the art of making and drinking : -) beer was shared with us.
In the second part of the day I delivered a session where I talked about how we can use Azure to improve the redundancy level of our systems with out of the box solutions offered by Microsoft Azure.
Below, you can find the slides from the session and a picture that I really enjoy.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...
